At hhgregg, a CFO resigns

Indianapolis-based appliance and electronics retailer hhgregg is searching for a new CFO after accepting the resignation of Jeremy J. Aguilar.

Aguilar, who was the company’s CFO and secretary, is leaving for a similar job at another company.

Dennis May, president and CEO of hhgregg, stated, “I would like to thank Jeremy for his leadership and many contributions to hhgregg over the past eight years. Jeremy has been an instrumental member of our leadership team and helped support the growth of the company’s store base as we work toward becoming a national retailer. We are fortunate to be making this transition with a deep and experienced finance team in place.”

While searching for a replacement, Andrew S. Giesler, senior VP finanace, has been appointed by the board to serve as interim chief financial officer (principal financial and accounting officer) and secretary, effective Jan. 31, 2014, until a new chief financial officer and secretary is appointed.

"Andy Giesler is a talented and experienced finance executive, and I am confident he will lead the transition effectively,” May said.
